The idea that the availability of something for free does not in any way reduce the demand for the paid version is incredible, and requires extraordinary proof. I haven't seen that.
If the local movie theatre had an unlocked back door, with noone watching it, you don't think that the fact that people could sneak in and watch for free would have
any affect on ticket sales?
Not every sneak would be a lost sale, but some would. Whether that is 5% or 50% is something about which reasonable people may differ, but to claim either 100% or 0% are
equally risible.
